I think this happened a fair amount in the forms of religious texts / mythology and mysticism in the early/mid 20th century, no?

You mean like the cult and occult stuff? True, I guess there were some elements. Heaven's Gate, Scientology, and others appear to have adopted a religious outlook on science fiction ideas. I'm not sure that they really adopted conventional forms of fantasy in their literature.
